Allergies after Eliminating TMS?

Ah! Once again, I thank Dr Schubiner. He concurs with my latest diagnosis, which is Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET)--a rare condition with no cure, according to the medical community. Cause: Idiopathic. Even the ENT I saw, who confirmed my diagnosis, couldn't understand how neuroplasticity can get rid of this condition. But we know better, don't we? See Dr Schubiner's email below:

Hi Sylvia.
There is hope for you. Don't you think that it's an odd coincidence that you have had all of these unknown, incurable, and untreatable conditions? Of course, it is not a coincidence!!
All of these conditions are mind-body conditions, including PET. In fact, I think that PET is a sensation of fullness in the ear, but it is not actually a medical disease or a medical condition, or even that the ear canal is actually always open.

What more can I say? It's all here in black and white.
 
Hi IceBergs,
My TMS journey began with a diagnosis of eustachian tube dysfunction-- that's what my first symptoms mimicked. I don't have it any more---My brain has changed its way of getting my attention! In regards to allergies: I have not had allergies since I discovered I have TMS however in looking at my history I realized that the time in my life that I did have allergies -- no doubt in my mind now it was TMS then too. Dr. Schubiner tells a story in his "unlearn your pain" book of a someone he knows having an attack of sneezing and runny nose, congestion that came on suddenly in the middle of a conversation he didn't want to be having--that he was "allergic to" in a TMS sense.
How did you solve it?
